Lucam 18
1 Dicebat autem et parabolam ad illos, quoniam oportet semper orare et non deficere,
And He spake also a parable to them, to shew that men ought always to pray, and not to faint:
2 dicens: Iudex quidam erat in quadam civitate, qui Deum non timebat, et hominem non reverebatur.
saying, There was a judge in a certain city, who neither feared God, nor regarded man.
3 Vidua autem quaedam erat in civitate illa, et veniebat ad eum, dicens: Vindica me de adversario meo.
And there was a widow in that city, who came to him, saying, Do me justice of my adversary.
4 Et nolebat per multum tempus. Post haec autem dixit intra se: Etsi Deum non timeo, nec hominem revereor:
And he would not for a time: but afterwards he said within himself, Though I fear not God,
5 tamen quia molesta est mihi haec vidua, vindicabo illam, ne in novissimo veniens suggilet me.
nor regard man, yet because this widow gives me trouble, I will do her justice, least by continually coming she weary me out.
6 Ait autem Dominus: Audite quid iudex iniquitatis dicit:
And the Lord said, hear what even the unjust judge saith:
7 Deus autem non faciet vindictam electorum suorum clamantium ad se die ac nocte, et patientiam habebit in illis?
and will not God do justice for his elect that cry to Him day and night, though He bear long with them.
8 Dico vobis quia cito faciet vindictam illorum. Verumtamen Filius hominis veniens, putas, inveniet fidem in terra?
I tell you, He will avenge them speedily. And yet when the Son of man cometh, shall He find faith in the land?
9 Dixit autem et ad quosdam, qui in se confidebant tamquam iusti, et aspernabantur ceteros, parabolam istam dicens:
And He spake also this parable to some that trusted in themselves as being righteous, and despised others.
10 Duo homines ascendebant in templum ut orarent: unus Pharisaeus, et alter publicanus.
Two men went up to the temple to pray; the one a pharisee and the other a publican.
11 Pharisaeus stans, haec apud se orabat: Deus gratias ago tibi, quia non sum sicut ceteri hominum: raptores, iniusti, adulteri: velut etiam hic publicanus.
The pharisee standing by himself prayed thus, O God, I thank thee that I am not as other men are, rapacious, unjust, adulterous, or even as this publican.
12 ieiuno bis in sabbato: decimas do omnium, quae possideo.
I fast twice a week, and I give tithes of all that I possess.
13 Et publicanus a longe stans, nolebat nec oculos ad caelum levare: sed percutiebat pectus suum, dicens: Deus propitius esto mihi peccatori.
But the publican standing at a distance did not presume so much as to lift up his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, O God, be merciful to me a sinner.
14 Dico vobis, descendit hic iustificatus in domum suam ab illo, quia omnis, qui se exaltat, humiliabitur: et qui se humiliat, exaltabitur.
I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other: for whoever exalteth himself shall be abased, but he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
15 Afferebant autem ad illum et infantes, ut eos tangeret. Quod cum viderent discipuli, increpabant illos.
And they brought to Him infants also, that He might touch them: and his disciples seeing it rebuked them.
16 Iesus autem convocans illos, dixit: Sinite pueros venire ad me, et nolite vetare eos. talium est enim regnum Dei.
But Jesus called them to Him and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
17 Amen dico vobis: Quicumque non acceperit regnum Dei sicut puer, non intrabit in illud.
Verily I tell you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall by no means enter into it.
18 Et interrogavit eum quidam princeps, dicens: Magister bone, quid faciens vitam aeternam possidebo? (aiōnios g166)
And a certain ruler asked Him, saying, Good master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
19 Dixit autem ei Iesus: Quid me dicis bonum? nemo bonus nisi solus Deus.
And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is God.
20 Mandata nosti: Non occides: Non moechaberis: Non furtum facies: Non falsum testimonium dices: Honora patrem tuum, et matrem.
Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.
21 Qui ait: Haec omnia custodivi a iuventute mea.
And he said, all these have I kept from my youth.
22 Quo audito, Iesus ait ei: Adhuc unum tibi deest: omnia quaecumque habes vende, et da pauperibus, et habebis thesaurum in caelo: et veni, sequere me.
But when Jesus heard these things He said unto him, Thou yet wantest one thing, Sell all that thou hast, and distribute to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me.
23 His ille auditis, contristatus est: quia dives erat valde.
But when he heard this, he was very sorrowful; for he was very rich.
24 Videns autem Iesus illum tristem factum, dixit: Quam difficile, qui pecunias habent, in regnum Dei intrabunt!
And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, He said, How difficultly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God?
25 Facilius est enim camelum per foramen acus transire, quam divitem intrare in regnum Dei.
For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
26 Et dixerunt qui audiebant: Et quis potest salvus fieri?
And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?
27 Ait illis: Quae impossibilia sunt apud homines, possibilia sunt apud Deum.
But He answered, Things impossible with men are possible with God.
28 Ait autem Petrus: Ecce nos dimisimus omnia et secuti sumus te.
Then said Peter, Behold, we have quitted all, and followed Thee.
29 Qui dixit eis: Amen dico vobis, nemo est, qui reliquit domum, aut parentes, aut fratres, aut uxorem, aut filios propter regnum Dei,
And He said unto them, Verily I tell you, there is no one that hath left house, or parents, or brethren, or wife, or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,
31 Assumpsit autem Iesus duodecim, et ait illis: Ecce ascendimus Ierosolymam, et consummabuntur omnia, quae scripta sunt per prophetas de Filio hominis.
And He took the twelve with Him and said to them, Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things written by the prophets concerning the Son of man shall be accomplished.
32 tradetur enim Gentibus, et illudetur, et flagellabitur, et conspuetur:
For He shall be delivered to the Gentiles, and insulted, and abused, and spit upon, and they will scourge Him, and put Him to death:
33 et postquam flagellaverint, occident eum, et tertia die resurget.
and the third day He shall rise again.
34 Et ipsi nihil horum intellexerunt, et erat verbum istud absconditum ab eis, et non intelligebant quae dicebantur.
But they understood none of these things; and this matter was hid from them, so that they knew not the things which were spoken.
35 Factum est autem, cum appropinquaret Iericho, caecus quidam sedebat secus viam, mendicans.
And as he was near to Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way-side begging.
36 Et cum audiret turbam praetereuntem, interrogabat quid hoc esset.
And hearing a multitude passing by, he asked what it meant.
37 Dixerunt autem ei, quod Iesus Nazarenus transiret.
And they told him, Jesus of Nazareth is coming by.
38 Et clamavit, dicens: Iesu fili David miserere mei.
And he cried out, saying, Jesus, thou son of David, have compassion on me.
39 Et qui praeibant, increpabant eum ut taceret. Ipse vero multo magis clamabat: Fili David miserere mei.
And they, that went before, rebuked him, that he might hold his peace, but he cried out the more, O Son of David, have pity on me.
40 Stans autem Iesus iussit illum adduci ad se. Et cum appropinquasset, interrogavit illum,
So Jesus stopt, and ordered him to be brought to Him: and when he was come near,
41 dicens: Quid tibi vis faciam? At ille dixit: Domine ut videam.
He asked him, saying, What wouldst thou that I should do for thee? And he said, Lord, that I may recover my sight.
42 Et Iesus dixit illi: Respice, fides tua te salvum fecit.
And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy sight: thy faith hath saved thee.
43 Et confestim vidit, et sequebatur illum magnificans Deum. Et omnis plebs ut vidit, dedit laudem Deo.
And immediately he received his sight, and followed Him, glorifying God: and all the people, when they saw it, gave praise unto God.
